Chapter 1998 - Raising a Stone to Throw Your Foot
"What do you mean?"
Tang Huan looked at Yuan Honglang and smiled slowly.
Yuan Honglang said coldly, "Tang Huan, you are also a Heavenly King at the peak of the Upper Realm. Don"t you know that the more people who swear allegiance to the Heavenly Dao, the more difficult it is for you to reach the Heavenly Emperor Realm?"
"Just accepting the oaths of the heavens from Tan Zhong and Tao You is already enough to increase the difficulty of breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm by ten times. Under normal circ.u.mstances, becoming a Heavenly Emperor would be incredibly difficult, let alone advancing ten times that. "
The corner of Yuan Honglang"s mouth curled up into a faint sneer, "If you accept the oath of allegiance of the forty-seven of us, no matter how talented you are, you will never be promoted to the level of Celestial Emperor. At that time, you will be at the peak of the Upper Sky King Realm until your time is up! "
At the end of his sentence, the scorn from Yuan Honglang"s antennae intensified, "If the Oath of Heaven is so easy to bear, then how can there be so few cultivators who can accept the Oath of Heaven? In the eighteenth and ninth day, no one dared to accept the oaths of the other cultivators. "
"There is a bit of truth in his words."
Tang Huan nodded her head, her face still carrying a faint smile.
His previous understanding of the Oath of Heaven came from Pan Ji"s memories. However, that Pan Ji"s residual soul had existed for too long, and his memories were incomplete, leaving him with quite a bit of incomplete memories. Tang Huan was not clear about the consequences of accepting an oath of allegiance to another"s heaven"s way.
However, after receiving Tao You"s oath of loyalty and searching his memories, Tang Huan completely understood everything.
Fortunately, Tang Huan"s Heavenly King"s Puppet and servants were mostly controlled by Sword Heart through the "Puppet Soul Seal", and there were very few who directly swore an oath of loyalty to the heavens. Furthermore, because Tang Huan already possessed the Divine Crystal, the impact of the matter on Tang Huan wasn"t as strong as Yuan Honglang had said.
For the current Tang Huan, the biggest obstacle to advancing to the Sky Emperor Realm was not the loyalty of the several Sky King servants, but the question of how to allow her main body and clone to breakthrough at the same time. Only by breaking through at the first moment would Tang Huan be able to truly step into the Sky Emperor Realm.
Of course, if Tang Huan continued to accept other people"s oath and allegiance, then the situation would become difficult to determine.
"If we cannot swear loyalty to you using the Heavenly Law Oath, then what"s the use in keeping you all alive? It seems like you are forcing me to kill all of you! " In the blink of an eye, Tang Huan laughed again, and his tone of voice turned a bit colder, as if a strong killing intent was lingering above the towering mountains of this lake.
"..."
No one said anything, but hearing Tang Huan"s words, their faces changed, and their hearts tightened.
Yuan Honglang sneered again, "Tang Huan, our forty odd people came from more than a dozen of the most powerful sects in the last eighteen days. If you kill us, the sect commander behind us will be your enemy. Don"t think that by killing us, our sect wouldn"t know? Within the sect, all of our Mind Stigma are sealed, so even if we die, the Mind Stigma will not immediately dissipate. The Celestial Emperor in our sect can definitely make use of those Mind Stigma to deduce the position and condition of the culprit, you. "
"At the same time, becoming enemies with so many powerful sects, no matter how much stronger you are, you will still be unable to escape this calamity. Moreover, since you are a Crimson Radiance Sect cultivator, your family, relatives, and fellow disciples are all in this Crimson Radiance Sect. Even if you don"t think for yourself, you still have to think for them. "
"I didn"t want your family and friends to be annihilated because of you. I didn"t want you to be destroyed because of you. You"d better let us go immediately. "Rest a.s.sured, although we cannot swear an oath to serve you, we can swear to swear to the heavens that we will never ever reveal what happened here."
"Moreover, we won"t let you let them go for nothing. Each of us can offer you all kinds of treasures as ransom!"
At the end of his sentence, Yuan Honglang looked at Tang Huan with a look of certainty.
The eyes of the Heavenly Kings at the peak of the other summits lit up. What Yuan Honglang said was too good, with such coercion and temptation, they did not believe that Tang Huan would dare to kill everyone here. Otherwise, he might be able to escape death, but her friends and relatives would be in trouble.
As long as Tang Huan did not have an unusually vicious heart, she would not have any scruples.
"Yuan Honglang, you did remind me." Tang Huan squinted his eyes and smiled. "Killing you all does indeed have the possibility of bringing disaster to our Heavenly Law Holy Academy."
"It"s good that you understand. "If you release us, you will not be at a disadvantage. Furthermore, with the oath given by the Heavenly Law, you will not be in any danger."
A smug look flashed across Yuan Honglang"s eyes.
If they were to swear oaths to the heavens, they would be no different from puppets from now on. However, if it were other oaths to the heavens, they still had ways to avoid it, and as long as they succeeded in escaping and returned back to the place of eighteen, they could completely think of other ways to leak out the information regarding Tang Huan.
At that time, all the eighteen Heavenly Emperors would be interested in his immortal cave.
"If I let you go, I would not be at a disadvantage."
Tang Huan slightly nodded, and then suddenly changed the topic of conversation, laughing indifferently, "But, how can the small ransom you guys exchanged for compare to the more than forty Peak stage Heavenly King Stage puppets? Since it"s not good to let you all swear your loyalty to the heavens, then let"s just change the method."
A mocking intent surfaced between Tang Huan"s brows.
In the next moment, one after another "Puppet Soul Seals" shot out from his palm, appearing like lightning in front of the Heavenly Kings at the peak of the realm. Tang Huan"s smile became even wider: "Everyone, there is no need to worry if I can handle this, this is my cave spirit"s condensed "Puppet Soul Seal", everyone can feel at ease fusing this."
The smiles that had just appeared on everyone"s faces froze.
The expression on Yuan Honglang"s face became even more marvelous. He almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.
If he had known earlier that Tang Huan had other methods to control everyone, he would have never revealed the fact that everyone had Mind Stigma s sealed in the sect. If that was the case, as long as Tang Huan was incited to kill one or two people, everything regarding this Scarlet Radiance Heaven would be exposed. But now, Tang Huan absolutely could not kill anymore.
Right now, if they were truly controlled by Tang Huan and couldn"t even use a countermeasure, if they had the chance to return to the eighteen days old, the sect would definitely not know that they had become someone else"s puppets. At that moment, Yuan Honglang felt like he had been struck by a stone.
"Tang Huan, are you sure you want to do this?" Yuan Honglang"s face was pale, and her voice contained a trace of unconcealable fear.
"Of course!"
"..."
